check the picture below.


\bf tan(22^o)=\cfrac{x}{80}\implies \boxed{80tan(22^o)=x}
\\\\[-0.35em]
~\dotfill\\\\
tan(43.5^o)=\cfrac{y+x}{80}\implies 80tan(43.5^o)=y+x\implies 80tan(43.5^o)-x=y
\\\\\\
80tan(43.5^o)-80tan(22^o)=y\implies 43.59506727037783689501 \approx y
\\\\[-0.35em]

~\hfill \stackrel{rounded~up}{44=y}~\hfill


make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.

Let distance from point of elevation be x

x/80 = tan 22 , x = 80 * tan 22 = 32.32209807 feet

Let distance from bottom of the library to the top of the flag be y

y/80 = tan 43.5 , y = 80 * tan 43.5 = 75.91716534 feet

Height of the flag pole  is y - x = 75.91716534 feet - 32.32209807 feet = 44 feet (to the nearest foot).

Factor quadratic trinomials
ad-work [718]
1. (x - 9) + (x + 5)
You split the x^2 into two xs
The one with an x (-4x) is what the two numbers should equal
-9 + 5 = 4
The one without an x (-45) is what the two numbers product should be
-9 times 5 = -45
*so remember the x is the sum of the two
*no x is the product of the two
Theres no quick trick to find the answer u just have to plug it in
*start with all the numbers that multiply for the no x (-45)
-3 and 15 or 3 and -15 is obviously not it as the sum does not equal -4
Those sums equal 12 or -12
I’ll do one more and ur on ur own comrade (ok and ill do number 4)
3. (x - 8) + (x - 9)
ok this time both the answers have a negative
*if it has only one negative in the problem there are going to be TWO negatives in the answer
-8 and -9 sum is -17
-8 and -9 sum is 72
If there was only one negative in the answer it would make the 72 negative and there is no -72 in the problem
So this one is
(x - 8) + (x - 9) (u dont have to have it like this u can put the (x - 9) in the front doesn’t matter which way it’s just the signs (- & +) that matter
OK now 4.
4. This one is very easy as all u need to do is find the two numbers for the product
(X - 6) (X + 6)
(Again it doesn’t matter which () is in front just the SIGNS INSIDE THE PARENTHESES ( + & - )
